Cool Gunny's Armytrix Install & Build

Ok Gents-
Started a new Thread for my RCF Build, and unboxing of the Armytrix Exhaust System. With help from my friend "Rolla", I've started to test drive some videos off my DropBox Account so others can view them. Please cut me some slack for the amateur footage.
I've yet to discover an easy Video Editor for Trimming out the fat.

Videos include a couple of Cold Starts, Dyno Runs, and GoPro Footage. If you look close, you can see the Valve Open and Close, and hear the difference in tone on this one!

Garage Start-

Dyno Runs

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jelgxj0808...0DYNO.MP4?dl=0

Another Garage Start- Looks Like Cans shake a little, no?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/96yevcggdg...35284.mp4?dl=0

Unsure what order all still pics will come thru, but they contain unboxing parts. (If you don't like Popcorn Packing - You're gonna love opening this thing!) Finished my 58 Piece Interior Dash Kit in Real CF. Tedious job, but cool payoff IMHO only.

The Black Box contains Two (2) Remotes for the System, the OBD2 Dongle Receiver, and a ton of wires they cut about 10ft off during install. Not only did Tech Heat Wrap and Loom all wiring under hood & thru firewall-He wrapped it in Heat Resistant loom underneath the car, all the way back to the Valves. They all said this system is serious high quality hardware, with all welds and fitment!

OBD2 Dongle - Green = Open, Orange= Closed

Thanks everyone.
Finally figured out how to get video on and off DropBox. Next step is scanning the Dyno Sheet so its viewable here. It'll be my next post.

Where are those green and orange lights located? Under the dash? Outside of the cabin? Or?

Very nice Gunny, GySgt I assume, loving the build and looking forward when I can finally start mine. Close up of the CF overlays please and looking forward also to the DynoJet results.

GF made it very clear:
1. finish kitchen build
2. finish the Audi build (short build, only a handful of pieces)
3. clean my home office
4. work on the RCF

haha.

Keoni, Audi build?? You never mentioned that. Best finish that kitchen!!
Btw if you have sat in my car, you’ve seen some pieces of that stick on cf kit. I just opted not to buy all the pieces.
Gunny went all out and got all of it.
